The chipset is the 751 Irongate. Unfortunately, I can't trade in the radeon
as I have had the system for some time now. I got lazy this time around and
bought a gateway about a year ago. My original video card in the unit had
the GeForce 256 chipset but when that died, they swapped it out for this ATI
board. :(
Anyway, If I could find a mobo/processor combo with onboard video & sound
under $200 that would run linux I could setup another system & swap between
the two with a KVM switch. ... I know I made a bunch of people cringe with
the onboard stuff, but as much as I dislike all in one mobo's, due to the
price factor I will most likely have to go that way.
